I was passed your details, and thought it you may be interested in the following. We are very keen to make this an open discussion, and would like as many contributors as possible - even if it should ultimately prove to be a venture which is undertaken outside of this group. If you have any questions, do email me, or join the list (see below). Best wishes, Gorry Fairhurst ---- Invitation to join a discussion list. This email describes a discussion list which will develop a framework for efficient transport of IPv4 and IPv6 Datagrams over ISO MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). The MPEG-2 TS has been widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services, but also as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks. One example is the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB), specified by standards published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The mailing list intends to produce a sreis of IP-related documents. These are likely to also be suited other similar MPEG-2 based transmission systems (e.g., the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) system). General information is at: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/ip-dvb/ The current ID's issued by this group are: http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-clausen-ipdvb-enc-00.txt http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fair-ipdvb-req-00.txt You are invited to join this list, which hopes soon to hold an IETF BoF on this subject. The email list (ip-dvb@erg.abdn.ac.uk) is currently closed and therefore to particpate you must first join, by sending: "subscribe ip-dvb" in the BODY part of an email to: "majordomo@erg.abdn.ac.uk" (Don't type the quotes!) The subject field is not used. This is a public mailing list for technical discussions only. Messages sent to the mailing list will be readable by all members.
